iPad 2

So Apple sold out of the new iPad 2 within hours of the release...

I know many people who bought the first iPad and they all love it. It is now proven to be a game changer, and the begining of the end of laptops. Soon nobody will carry big bulky laptops (never thought we would call laptops bulky) but instead just an iPad and some cables....

What are your thoughts?

Preppy Wines!!!!

When I was out skiing with the family over Christmas break I got a nice email from Amy over at Preppy Vines. She and her crew have followed their true love, making wine!

As many of you may know I follow one of my loves, drinking wine (LOL), so I thought I'd bring their information to you...

I have not have the pleasure of trying one of the two varieties yet. But with names like Preppy Vines Pinot Noir and Popped Collar Pinot they are worth a try, don't you think?

If anyone has tried them yet please let us know! I am always looking for new and fun wines!

ps. I am always open to share fun ideas with people, just drop me a line (email is under "preppy guy info" just use @ instead of the at

Gift Ideas Help Needed

I got a nice email from a reader Catherine asking :

"Hi,

I stumbled upon your blog while researching a gift for my boyfriend who is the ultimate prep (Nantucket summer home, Exeter Alum, Owns every item from Vineyard Vines)! I need any suggestions/ideas you might have for a birthday gift. He is going to be 32 yrs old and I do NOT know what to get him. PLEASE HELP….

Thanks-

Catherine "

So since the easy stuff of Vineyard Vines or Brooks Brothers is off the table, lets all think of some additional ideas:

One that I like a lot is a monogrammed flask. As it is getting colder this is the perfect gift for those snowy nights!!! And fun to share.

- Other ideas include cigars with a travel holder for 2 or three cigars.

- If your man does not have his own martini set, one would assume he would by 32, that is a great gift.

- how about a trip, just the two of you to someplace you have not been; DC/Georgetown by train perhaps?

- I will continue to think of new ideas, but I always love to ask any blog readers to leave comments and help too...

Let's heard from you guys/girls!!
